Dwight L. Moody tells the story of an artist who wanted a man that would represent the prodigal. One day he met a poor beggar, and thought, "That man would represent the prodigal." He found the beggar ready to sit for his painting if he would pay him. The man appeared on the day appointed, but the artist failed to recognize him. He said: "You made an appointment with me." "No," replied the artist, "I never saw you before." "You are mistaken, you did see me, and made an appointment with me." "No, it must be some other artist. I have an appointment to meet a beggar at this hour." "Well," said the beggar, "I am the man." "You are the man?" "Yes." "What have you been doing?" "Well, I thought I would get a new suit of clothes before I got painted." "Well," said the artist, "I don't want you," and he would not have him so. If you are coming to God, come just as you are. Do not go and put on some garments of yours, and think the Lord will accept you because you have some good thoughts and desires (John 3:3). --John Hughson (5/17/02) |
